First they launched a fundraiser for the Canadian Freedom Convoy on GoFundMe. Then GoFundMe froze the fundraiser. Then GoFundMe cancelled it altogether. So they relaunched the fundraiser on GiveSendGo and raised an absolute butt-load of money in less than a week.
Now a Canadian judge has declared that the protesters are not actually allowed to touch any of that money:
The Ontario government says it has successfully petitioned a court to freeze access to millions of dollars donated through online fundraising platform GiveSendGo to the convoy protesting COVID-19 restrictions in Ottawa and at several border crossings.
The province obtained an order from the Superior Court of Justice that prohibits anyone from distributing donations made through the website's "Freedom Convoy 2022" and "Adopt-a-Trucker" campaign pages, said a spokeswoman for Premier Doug Ford.
Ivana Yelich said the order binding "any and all parties with possession or control over these donations" was issued Thursday afternoon. She cited a section of the Criminal Code that allows the attorney general to apply for a restraint order against any "offence-related property."
Okay:
For real, though. If anyone was on the fence about this whole thing before, you surely can't still be undecided at this point.
Remember that these brave souls are doing nothing more and nothing less than opposing mandatory injections of experimental medicines into their bodies. That's it. That's all.
If the government would just give up that one little thing, we'd all be finished and everyone would just go home.
But they're not and so we won't.
